The School Counselling and Wellbeing Team wishes everyone a happy and safe school holidays break. This week's article is from Dr Justin Coulson about the importance of play, being active and taking time outdoors. We hope you have the opportunity to connect and also recharge after a busy term.
We would like to remind families there are many support services available within the community if the need arises during the holidays. The Youth Resource Card (pictured) lists a variety of reputable support services, and Parentline are also available for advice and support.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to read the fact sheet below for information about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD).
The College is in the process of collating the NCCD. This asks us to identify students with disabilities and to review our processes and practices in this arena. We record the adjustments throughout the year that identifies how students with disabilities are supported to access and participate in education on the same basis as their peers. In the NCCD we are required to review our learning and support systems, providing greater understanding of our students with disabilities. As a school we are committed to this process and work to ensure that we are an inclusive school community where the needs of all our students are at the forefront.
